​​Ridgely, MD

Enchanted Haven Horse Rescue in a not-for-profit private foundation established by a group of caring Maryland residents who wanted to do more than sit by and watch the occasional mistreatment of horses within the equine community. Through the efforts of a dedicated Board of Directors, Enchanted Haven Horse Rescue works with local and regional entities to locate abandoned, abused and neglected horses who are then transported to our facilities in Ridgley, Maryland where they are nursed back to good health. Upon completion of their rehabilitation program managed by our highly capable staff they are returned to the community and placed permanently in quality living facilities. Medical care, diet, nutrition, exercise and training are all included in their recovery strategy. Through public and private generosity, Enchanted Haven Horse Rescue operates effectively and efficiently with minimal financial overhead.
